Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0938255A2] A method of moving component supplying units each of which carries electric components, along a reference line along which respective component-supply portions of the component supplying units are arranged, so as to sequentially position the respective component-supply portions at a component-supply position, and causing an external drive device to operate a drive member thereof to drive a driven member of each component supplying unit and thereby feed the electric components of each unit, one by one, to the component-supply portion of each unit, the method including the steps of storing, in each component supplying unit, an energy which is transmitted from the drive member to the driven member of each unit, and operating a feeding device of each component supplying unit to utilize, after the drive member is moved off the driven member of each unit, the stored energy for performing at least a portion of at least one of a component feeding action and a component-feeding preparing action, the component feeding action causing one of the electric components of each unit to be fed to the component-supply portion of each unit, the component-feeding preparing action causing the feeding device to be prepared for the component feeding action. <IMAGE>
